Ice cube trays
Some models are equipped with ice cube
trays and an ice storage bin. To release the
ice cubes from a tray, hold the tray upside
down over the bin and twist both ends.
Automatic ice maker
(optional)
NOTE
Energy rating guides that are post-
ed on the refrigerator at the time of
purchase do not include optional
ice maker energy usage.
Your refrigerator is automatic ice maker
ready. The number of the appropriate ice
maker kit is IC11. The kit contains instal-
lation instructions and water connection
instructions.
Other models have a factory installed ice
maker. Connect the ice maker to the
water supply as instructed in the separate
instructions furnished with the refrigera-
tor. Proper water flow and a level
refrigerator are essential for optimal
ice maker performance.
After your refrigerator has been connect-
ed to the water supply, move the sensor
arm into the down position. The ice
maker will fill with water when the freezer
reaches the proper temperature.
Using ice maker for the first time:
Confirm ice bin is in place and ice
maker arm is down.
After freezer section reaches between
0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C), ice maker
fills with water and begins operating.

Allow approximately 24 hours after
installation to receive first harvest of ice.
Discard ice created within first 12
hours of operation to verify system is
flushed of impurities.
Operating instructions:
Confirm ice bin is in place and ice
maker arm is down.
After freezer section reaches between
0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C), ice maker
fills with water and begins operating.
You will have a complete harvest of
ice approximately every 3 hours.
Stop ice production by raising ice
maker arm until click is heard.
Ice maker will remain in the off posi-
tion until arm is pushed down.
The first one or two batches will proba-
bly contain undersized and irregular
cubes because of air in the supply line.
The initial batch may also contain
impurities from the new water supply
piping. Therefore, all cubes from the
first two or three batches should be
discarded.
When the ice cubes are ejected it is
normal for several cubes to be joined
together at the ends. They can easily
be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply
of ice cubes raises the sensor arm,
shutting the ice maker off.
Certain sounds may accompany the
various cycles of the ice maker. The
motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an
empty storage pan and the water
valve may click or "buzz" occasionally.
If the ice is not used frequently, the ice
cubes will become cloudy, shrink, stick
together and taste stale. Empty the ice
storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin
thoroughly before replacing it.
Beverages and foods should not be
placed in the ice storage bin for quick
chilling. These items can block the
sensor arm, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.
Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when
the water supply is to be shut off for
several hours.
To remove the ice bin:
Pull it forward, away from the ice
maker. To avoid the ice maker dump-
ing ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker off by raising the sensor
arm.
To reinstall the ice bin:
Reverse the above procedure. Turn
the ice maker on by lowering the sen-
sor arm.
WARNING

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not place fingers or hands on
the automatic ice making mecha-
nism while the refrigerator is
plugged in. This will help protect
you from possible injury. It will also
prevent interference with moving
parts of the ejector mechanism and
the heating element that releases
the cubes.
Under certain rare circumstances,
ice cubes may be discolored,
usually appearing with a green-
bluish hue. The cause of this
unusual discoloration can be a
combination of factors such as cer-
tain characteristics of local waters,
household plumbing and the accu-
mulation of copper salts in an inac-
tive water supply line which feeds
the ice maker.
Continued consumption of such
discolored ice cubes may be injurious
to health. If such discoloration is
observed, discard the ice cubes
and contact your dealer to pur-
chase and install a water line filter.
